What a beautifully explicit thought from Lisa Stewart (Letters, November 21). She has encapsulated the real meaning of life and how we should all live in a few poignant words.

All religions embody the same simple truth of loving God and our neighbours. Many atheists and humanists show a great deal of love that those who attend religious services could do well to emulate. We are all children of God, however perceived, and share the human condition.
